I was the youngest of seven kids and I would not have been able to go to college without an athletic scholarship.

When you don't have much and you need to be at work, there's no such thing as being sick.

The more games you coach, the more comfortable you feel.

I've been around young, talented, non-coachable players. I've been around veteran, talented, non-coachable players. No matter what you do, sooner or later - even if a coach comes in that's able to connect with them - if that's who they are, they're going to go back to it.

The NBA needs more of that 'it's-about-us-against-them' mentality.

I believe this with all my heart: The greatest coach of all time in my eyes is my mom. She's instilled in me a toughness and a perseverance and just a never-quit mentality, and I thank her every day for providing me, for what she sacrificed her life for.

You can have great players, but if they dont want to be coached, what are you going to do?
